About the Author

About Us:

We provide books for niche markets. Sometimes traditional publishers cannot earn a return on investment required for publishing in specialized markets. For them, books publishing is expensive and requires a larger customer base than may currently exist in a niche market. For you, this is an incredible opportunity. The doors are wide open for you to publish in small and specialized industry and hobby groups that are often neglected.

Red Bike publishing can help. Additionally, we are registered as a government contractor company with the CCR and VetBiz (DUNS 826859691). Specifically we are a service disabled veteran owned small business.

The Evolution of Red Bike Publishing

Not too long ago, Jeff Bennett left a successful Army career. He had served in intelligence, transportation and wrapped up his career in recruiting. By far the most difficult but rewarding had been his experience as a recruiter. Tell a soldier to take a hill in the heat of battle and they’ll do it and exceed whatever standards you give. However, tell them to successfully encourage people to leave everything they know to become a soldier…that’s a tougher task. Hence, Army recruiting has taught Jeff everything about real marketing.

Prior to his departure from the army Jeff had bought and read all of the books he could on marketing, sales, interviewing and resume writing. Almost everything he had read revealed the same message: Find something you are good at and do it. It took awhile, but the message hit home. Jeff met many local business owners who found themselves succeeding in business doing something they enjoyed.

In his journey to finding the right business Jeff took a job in industrial security. It was fun and he could use his strengths and the transferable skills he had learned in the Army to begin a new niche career. As he learned the intricacies of a facility security officer (FSO), learning about the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) and oversight by Defense Security Services (DSS). Jeff certified as an FSO and studied for and passed the Industrial Security Professional (ISP) certification. He also developed a new goal; to be considered a security specialist or expert within five years.

One vital ingredient to Red Bike Publishing’s success is that there are no other comprehensive study books. Jeff began selling eBook version of ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual on my website. His business plan called for publishing an eBook to simulate a real test taking environment. However, his customers’ feedback led him to change the plan to offer print versions. Now the books are available everywhere.

This experience led to the point where Jeff could write his first security book and market it using the website www.ispcert.com. Now we have created Red Bike Publishing and her website at http://www.redbikepublishing.com/; all because of similar shortages in niche resources. Now we are meeting more needs with many more books such as NISPOM and ITAR and offering FSO and NISPOM Training, initial security briefings and security awareness training. What began as a desire to teach other security professionals how to study for the exam and increase their chances of passing, has grown to address other specialized industry and hobby shortfalls.

How will you publish your book

  You can publish your book yourself, or publish with others. There are so many options available depending on how much work you want to put into the process. Writing a book is a great experience that can help you further your business opportunities. Publishing with it’s many requirements and resources could prove to be more work than you want to do, especially if writing is not our primary business.   Self-publishing provides an increasingly valuable method of getting information to your audience. With self-publishing, you can write, outsource the printing, and market your book while controlling the process. This type of publishing can be done with very little money up front and, if done right, creates a great source of revenue. If you plan to self-publish, you will need some basic items and information. Books should have copyright protection and each book sold through distribution channels will need International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN). However, with Kindle Direct Publishing (K

Good Book Plus Good Marketing

  Build Trust-Build a Platform Just because your book is the only one available, it doesn’t mean people will buy it. No matter how hot the topic, you’ve still got to do the marketing of not only the book, but of yourself as the expert. Even if you have an incredible book, it will fail without the proper marketing. Think of all the books you’ve read. Perhaps you’ve read some obscure books that you thought were incredible. You tell your friends about the reading experience and they give you a shrug; they’ve never heard of the book and therefore lack your passion. Somehow someone wrote a great book and it fell into your hands by accident. Now, think of another situation where you’ve read a bestselling book. Advertising, word of mouth, reviews, and great marketing let you know it was available. You may have had an incredible desire to own the book. You finally receive the book and, with anticipation, you devour it. You find it is a good book, but perhaps not any better than the obscure boo

How Niche Authors Should Use Social Media.

      Social Networking Activities Let me begin by saying that I no longer market heavily through social media. I found that in my niche, my customers used social media for the social aspect, but typically do not respond to ads, sign up forms or sales pitches. Most marketing books will encourage that activity, but I don’t recommend it unless you want to be a social media influencer or your products are social media specific. Otherwise, social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and other emerging social networks are great online places to look for experts in your field. Many have started unique groups and other venues providing opportunities to meet others and learn from their experiences. You can also contribute while you learn in an informal university experience. The key is to build connections with those you know, as well as their contacts who may be involved in your niche. The more people you connect with, the better your message gets out and the more you can learn
